This looks like a really good deal for the latest gen Ryzen on a ThinkPad. The E14 and E15 seem to be replacing the popular E495 and E595. This is my first post, please let me know if I'm missing anything.

Note: Screen only covers 45% of sRGB.

ThinkPad E15 15" $859.00 https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/education/laptops/thinkpad/thin…

Both can be upgraded to the 4700U and/or additional memory, storage etc.

      That’s fast as order page was showing ship in 10-15 business days. I ordered on 2nd with 4700u, 256gb ssd & 8gb ram but it shows expected shipping on 22nd and expected to arrive 7th Aug

      What's your first impression on this laptop?

        As the screen is a common point of contention, I use rather bright lights at home (think bright clinical office lights), and it is bright enough within this situation. I do not recommend buying this model for videogames; however, I benchmarked Forza Horizon 4, which ran at 35FPS and upwards on medium at 1080p this felt smoother than you may expect note that I overclocked the monitor to 70Hz (I don't recommend doing this). I was unable to unlock FreeSync using Custom Resolution Utility as the APU is too recent to support older AMD drivers that enabled this.

        The keyboard is fantastic; it has a slightly mechanical feel to it. The function key is in the position which I would typically expect left control to be, which causes miss-clicks occasionally. The build quality is far superior to what I expected, hinges etc all feel premium, better than I expected from an E-Series ThinkPad. I bought my mum an E-Series ThinkPad in 2014, this is a stark upgrade in regards to the build quality. The typing experience is fantastic.

        Let me know if you want me to test anything.

        • 4kbargain on 17/07/2020 - 09:10

          Thanks for your detailed review mate. I was mainly concerned about the build quality. You cannot find any review for this laptop anywhere and I was skeptical about the build quality as someone mentioned E series is pseudo thinkpad.

          @phetreck: Can you comment on battery timing plz?

          in the BIOS you can swap the ctrl and fn keys if you don't want to get used to the lenovo layout

          Can it run Crysis?

    I got mine yesterday (16th). Going from a 3-year-old Thinkpad 13 (similar budget range to the E14 now), it's built way better. I'm really happy with it. Stays pretty cool and it's really fast.

      Hi,
      Was your tracking all accurate? I ordered on 2nd July and it says estimated shipping 22 July and delivered in 7 Aug.

      • JustinVo on 17/07/2020 - 16:19

        Hi man,
        How long did it take for you to get the shipping time and delivery time in OVP system?
        In my case, I have ordered since 3 days ago but I haven't get any the info yet.

            @Pythagoras: have you recieved your stuff yet? I placed an order in 14/7 and they said that shipping time is about 6-7 weeks. I can't wait until that time LOL.

      • inconspicuous on 18/07/2020 - 12:02

        The initial estimate was 22/7. I got it about a week after it landed it Melbourne.

      • Associatedphetreck @ Lenovo on 18/07/2020 - 16:09

        My tracking wasn't accurate, no. Mine was expected to arrive on the 22nd and arrived on the 15th.

  • videoman on 18/07/2020 - 13:17

    Did anyone get double charges? I got charged $859 on the day I bought it and another charge of $859 showed up after they shipped it.

    • 4kbargain on 18/07/2020 - 14:56

      My first charge(charged when bought along with $1 pre-auth charge) has disappeared. Item hasn't shipped yet so i believe, i will be charged again when the item ships.

    I am getting the below error when I login to StudentBeans and follow the Lenovo link from there.

    'Sorry! It's not you… it's us. Please call the phone number at the top of the page and we'll fix this right away.'

    Anyone else had this issue?

    • JustinVo on 18/07/2020 - 22:02

      I think you should access the education store gateway and create a new Lenovo account (not link to student bean) and then refer your student email to authenticate your lenovo acount you created.

      • parallelparadox on 19/07/2020 - 19:51

        Tried this and it didnt work still. Although i have an account created with Lenovo, if I go to register an account, it asks to verify email etc. It doesnt give an option to linkt o StudentBeans.

        • chrisie on 20/07/2020 - 00:05

          StudentBeans/ Lenovo logon is very hit & miss to get into I find.

  • AliensStoleMyMoney on 20/07/2020 - 08:11

    is this deal still on ?

    cant login with student beans with its not you…….its us error or directly using edu email with Access Denied

    I got my new E15 model several day ago and i realize that the top right screen bazel is loose. It made clicking sound when I opened of close the lid. It's very annoying although everything works perfect. is anyone else have the same situation like me?
